[KOJOE90]

but hagler also got his ass kicked by sugar ray leonard and he didnt give him a rematch so he quit :( whaaaaaaaaaaa.

ass kicked?????

Have you actually seen the Leonard vs Hagler fight?

That was a very close fight, regardless who you may have thought deserved the win.

I don't know who would win but Hagler was swifter of hand and foot. punched harder, fought better inside, a better defensive fighter and took a better punch and was tougher. How's this- the Hamsho of the first Hagler fight beats both Hopkins and JonesJr because they'd crack under the pressure

I agree with the first part of the post. But Hamsho beating Jones Jr. and Hopkins??? Not a chance!

I think Hagler was better. I think Sugar Ray Leonard was to Hagler what Roy Jones Jr is to Bernard Hopkins.

I think both are nearly equal in all aspects of the game, but I think Hagler was a little bit tougher and punched harder. I think Hopkins is a little smarter in the ring, but that is the only advantage I would give him. Both are top 10 all time in my book.

Gotta post on this. Hagler had more weaponry than Hopkins. Not only did Hagler it harder, have a better chin, but he moved alot more than Hopkins ever did or will. That movement combined with Hagler's jab and body punches would have worn Hopkins down. It would be great to watch, but I'd have Hagler winning a UD.
